Rainbow Wheels - Collaboration With Chris Green
In the path of sundust
multicolored dancing particles
he sits, sulks, mutters,
dust gathers on his wheels
The daylight taunts him
beyond the glass defense
pulling on his emotions
as the heat sneers sarcastically
One finger is reaching
rubs the bright colors of
his motionless wheels in
projected frustration
When a gray cloud wanders by,
a momentary distraction
His mind bends in assorted directions
while thoughts turn to winter
He wishes magic wand dreams
snow men sitting on sleds
legs, willpower propelled
long-haired, giggling faeries
The cold wind whips about his skin
as he bundles up, not for warmth, but comfort
His blanket brings the snow to him,
soft fabric drifts caressing memories
He weaves dreams of comfort
of love and friendship
racing rainbow wheels warp speed
being carried by loved ones
And even though the sun has now returned
he still smiles from his room
Because he knows there will be other clouds,
returning him to the happy moments
